My Relatives In The Philippines

Over the weekend, a horrible tropical rainstorm blew through the Philippines. And like Katrina in the US, I ignored it UNTIL-

my parents finally got through on the phone (lines have been jammed.) It affected some of my direct reliaves: in fact, roofs of two of my relatives' houses flew off at the beginning, so it poured rain in their house the whole time.

If you would like to offer any financial donation to my direct relatives, (they're poorer than me!), let me know and send a check out to my parents who will do a wire transfer ASAP:

Ernie and Ellie Deomampo
2601 Willard Drive
Charlottesville, Va.
22903

Please let me know, so they'll know you're my friend and I can get my relatives to write you a thank you card.

If you would like to receive a tax deduction in return, write out your check to:

Covenant church Of God
Under memo wirte "Batangas Christ Ministry"
1025 E. Rio Road
Charlottesville, Va.
22901-1085

If you do this way, 100% of what you give goes straight to the Philippines, no one in the church or in the US gets a dime.

I'm emarassed to ask you for help, but it's my immediate family that that was affected, so I gotta' ask.

Thank you, and even if you can't help, thank you.
